Samsung Galaxy A8 Plus 2018 Details

Introduction and Display
The Samsung Galaxy A8 Plus is the latest flagship offering from the South-Korea based smartphone makers. The device makes its mark with high-end hardware which is aimed at providing a top-of-the-line smartphone experience. The device flaunts a metal unibody design with a rear-mounted fingerprint reader which can be used to record multiple fingerprints that can unlock the smartphone in less than 0.5 seconds. One of the interesting factors of the smartphone is that the Galaxy A8 Plus comes with a dual front-facing shooter. On top, the handset boasts a 6-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display which is vibrant and reproduces vivid colours. The screen is paired with thin bezels which is very close to the company's own infinity display that was seen on the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. However, the display is big, and you can easily enjoy videos and games. Also, the screen is protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass that prevents it from scratches. 
Camera and Battery
The Samsung Galaxy A8 Plus is an excellent imaging device too. The smartphone sports a 16-megapixel primary camera and a dual 16+8-megapixel secondary shooter which effectively aids photos and videos in both dark and bright environments. The presence of additional features like Phase detection autofocus and f/1.7 aperture adds stability to your images in low-light conditions. The dual-camera at the front is equipped with a wide-angle lens for in-depth-selfies. The Samsung Galaxy A8 Plus is backed by a non-removable Li-Ion 3,500mAh battery which the company claims can last for an entire day. For heavy users, the smartphone comes with fast charging support too. 
Storage and Platform
The Samsung Galaxy A8 Plus runs the Android 7.1.1 Nougat operating system out of the box and the smartphone ships with an onboard storage space of 64GB which can be used for apps and personal data. If that does not suit your requirements, there is an option to expand further using a microSD card up to 256GB.  
Performance and Connectivity
Samsung flagship devices are one of the best in terms of performance, and the Galaxy A8 Plus is no exception. The handset is armed with an octa-core Exynos 7885 chipset which is coupled with massive 6GB RAM to ensure a smooth and lag-free smartphone experience. You can easily indulge in games or work on multiple apps at the same time without worrying about any performance issues. The device does not suffer any lags whatsoever, and users can expect smooth sailing even under the most demanding conditions. Connectivity options that tag along with the Galaxy A8 Plus include 4G, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, GPS, NFC, and a USB Type-C port.
